That wasn't sarcasm. That was me legit patting u/casuallyobservant on the back because they actually noticed this post was recycling old news. Which is 100% NOT the norm here. And it's something that irritates the ever living shit out of me (people recycling old news with a "BREAKING NEWS!" headline, not people noticing it's old news, just to be clear).
But I can see where it might look like I'm being sarcastic. It did come from me, after all and I'm pretty sure I was born rolling my eyes and being condescending to my parents for their choice in the OB-GYN.
Yes, he signed it back in May. I just made another post here that has the EO number and details if you want to know more.
Unfortunately, since the President doesn't have the power to defund something without approval from Congress (not even with an EO) the migrant shelters weren't universally defunded. I say "universally" because I just know someone will try to prove me wrong by finding some article or something saying that one got shut down or moved or something and try to use that as evidence they all did. 🙄
From what I could find, virtually nothing happened with closing down the migrant shelters.
And virtually nothing has been done about the plans for the homeless vets. Basically they've spent all this time making plans, having the plans rejected, fighting amongst themselves, getting budgets set up and then rejected. So...not much happened with it. But hopefully they won't just memory-hole it and they'll one day actually get something accomplished with it.
Oh, look somebody used "ALERT" instead of "BREAKING NEWS!". That's refreshing.
But obviously the tone and the 🚨 set off my bullshit detector, because of the absolutel avalance of bogus "BREAKING NEWS" that is just recycled stuff from months or even years ago.
First off, that's a campaign speech he's giving in that video. "When I take office, I will sign..." So obviously the video isn't helping with finding out If/when this EO every actually materialized.
So I spent my valuable time and went digging. Because that's what I do on this elite research board. I research. You know, instead of just believing everything I read.
So heres what I found, after a little digging:
Executive Order 14296: “Keeping Promises to Veterans and Establishing a National Center for Warrior Independence”
Signed: May 9, 2025
Published in Federal Register: May 14, 2025 as 90 FR 20369
Official Title:
Executive Order 14296 — Keeping Promises to Veterans and Establishing a National Center for Warrior Independence
So....from MAY. Not sure why that needs an 🚨 ALERT on it.
Here's the thing. When we have so many of these "BREAKING NEWS!" (and I guess "ALERT" now) type posts of things that are MONTHS old, and we run around sharing them all over the place, it really does damage our credibility with normies. And we're supposed to be trying to redpill normies. And it's difficult to sway normies over to our side when they see stuff like this and think we're either very uninformed, because we don't know that this already happened months ago, that we're gullible, because we just believe it without checking, or that we're lying/misrepresenting things for some reason.
Once or twice, that's understandable. It happens. Things slip through the cracks.
But I see this type of crap here every day. Several times a day. Every day. That's not an innocent mistake. It's not something slipping through the cracks.
To me, it signals one of two things
People are incredibly lazy and gullible and will just share any old shit they come across without even thinking about checking to see if it's true or not.
People are doing this deliberately because they think we desperately need to show that we're "winning" somehow and there aren't enough legitimate wins so they need to manufacture some more by recycling old news and putting this stupid
" 🚨 BREAKING NEWS!/ALERT!" bullshit on it.
Honestly, it's gotten to the point that as soon as I see this 🚨 , I know it's fucking bullshit post. 🤷♀️
Am I against the EO? Of course not. But here's the thing. Anything that's funded by the government has to go through Congress first. So an EO trying to defund one thing to fund another still needs approval from Congress. So the EO didn't shut down migrant shelters. Also, I did some more digging, and nothing has come from the EO in helping homeless vets. They've spent all this time squabbling and making plans and having those plans rejected, squabbling some more, fighting over budgets, rinse and repeat.
Honestly, any time a President (doesn't matter which one, ALL of them) says they're sending people money or they're saying they're going to sign an EO that funds something or defunds something, you really need to be on high alert for bullshit. Because the President can not make those types of decisions himself. He doesn't have the power to do it. An EO doesn't magically give him the power to do such things himself. Congress has control of the checkbook for the most part. He needs their approval on it.
I really wish people would stop posting things that are MONTHS or YEARS old like they're something that just happened because...I guess nothing else is going on so they need to try to motivate people with recycled stuff? Or they're just bored as shit and can't find anything new to talk about?
Whatever the reason, it needs to stop. If you want to bring up old topics so we can discuss them, and see what progress has been made or have an accounting of all the great things President Trump has done, that's a great thing to do. I would 100% be on board for that.
But for fucks sake, DON'T throw it up there with a 🚨 BREAKING NEWS/ALERT!! bullshit title and try to pretend it's something new. The fact that I have to even explain to people how this type of intellectual dishonesty damages our credibility is just...fucking stupid. And I'm so tired of it.
NO ONE BUT US ON THIS BOARD, BUT I do WHOLE HEARTEDLY AGREE WITH BAKUS~~~~~this is the second or third time this week that this has happened...if presenters can't keep the facts straight and up-to-date then the mods will have a field day!!! Of course, from-time-to-time we ourselves do clean up the riff-raff...😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Is it defeatist, like "Nothing will ever change, so why bother trying anymore"?
Or that we no longer need to redpill normies because we no longer need them because things are going so well, and all the things that we've been waiting for has happened, etc....?
But it doesn't stay in this bubble. People from this bubble spread this all around on their social media, share it with normies they know, etc.
Not only that, but our little bubble here is viewed by all sorts of people. It's not just a little merry band of Anons posting for the entertainment/enjoyment of each other. Remember how this is supposed to be the "Public face of Q"? And that "all eyes are on us" and "We are the news now"? What happened to all that?
And what do you mean that you don't know what you meant by your other post? Seriously? You don't know why you think we shouldn't even bother to try redpilling normies?
Tje news was actually new to me. I must have missed it before. So thanks to joys daughter my rice and beans taste better today. Shut down or not when trump bri gs it to the public forefront it begins to get handled. I appreciate joy reminding everyone.
Because I point out that the migrant shelters were not defunded and that there has been absolutely nothing accomplished so far on the housing for homeless vets.
So President Trump signed an EO...and nothing has been accomplished in 7 months because of squabbling amongst the people handling it.
So what exactly about that made your rice and beans taste better?
Is it just the appearance of a win that matters?
This is also another reason why these "BREAKING NEWS!" posts that are just regurgitating old news is problematic
Imagine if you were trying to redpill a normie with that and they actually did their own research on it, and learned that this had already happened seven months ago. And that even though the EO was signed absolutely nothing from that EO has actually been accomplished?
It's not pointing out a great accomplishment. It's highlighting the problems with EOs and how people just see " Oh look, an EO was signed. Yaaaaay!" , and then never follow up on it and don't see when balls get dropped and shit doesn't get done. They just get that dopamine hit, count it as a win, then forget all about it, and then a year later we still have a huge homeless vet problem, they get all outraged again, because this was supposed to have been fixed. Rinse. Repeat.
The problem is that most of what we think of as wins are nothing but political theater. It just looks good and sounds good, but in reality, it's all the same useless fucks in congress doing what they do best. Squabble, make plans, squabble some more, have a vote on doing something, squabble squabble squabble. Rinse. Repeat.
And before people get their panties in a twist, I'm not talking about President Trump here. He signed the EO. That's about as much as he can do with it. The rest is up to the fuckwads in congress who are utterly useless.
Thank you Mr. President. Though im very thankful for the material support my fellow Americans give us veterans, its nice to know, be it veterans or some other Americans, that at least we are being given a priority over illegals. Rice and beans in my trailer house go down much easier when I know frauds arent eating steak and lobster and living in mansions.
Bravo!
That's why we love him! 🇺🇸🫡
Indeed!
So much!
Wait, this was before he got elected. This is not from tonight. So, has he done it yet?
Oh honey. Look at you, displaying why you have the word "Observant" in your screen name. 👏👏👏
Please PUT just a wee bit more of SARCASM in your reply!!!!!!
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

No, this wasn't from tonight..
Then what are you posting it for, like it's something new?
Guess we should be happy it isn't BREAKING: with bunch of alarm emojis...

This might be my favorite post all year. Thank you for stating everything I've been thinking, but articulating it much better than I would've👌
I'm glad you enjoyed it. ✌️
at this point, who cares lol
NO ONE BUT US ON THIS BOARD, BUT I do WHOLE HEARTEDLY AGREE WITH BAKUS~~~~~this is the second or third time this week that this has happened...if presenters can't keep the facts straight and up-to-date then the mods will have a field day!!!

"At this point"... Not sure how you mean this.

Or that we no longer need to redpill normies because we no longer need them because things are going so well, and all the things that we've been waiting for has happened, etc....?
Idk man but sharing old news in our little bubble here isn't going to damage a whole lot
If it stayed in this bubble, no.
But it doesn't stay in this bubble. People from this bubble spread this all around on their social media, share it with normies they know, etc.

I think we're good. I'm comfy. Merry Christmas

Well, you just kind of said this forum is not at all important and we don't have to worry about anyone seeing any of this or passing it along.
So, Merry Christmas to you, too.
You know what NGO’s do hopefully he ends the NGO’s crap and help the veterans.

Agreed!
This is great news. Haven’t heard many repercussions yet. Did any leeches go home?
